Falling stars

From my File For Looking At On Really Bad Days (not the greatest name, I admit, but I started it about the same time I found Hulk’s Diary That Is On The Internet, so, y’know), I’d like to share this:

“Even in the smallest things that we do, we have meaning. We have consequence. We have impact on the world around us. One person with a gun could change the future of the world – in Dallas, and in Memphis, and in a hotel in Los Angeles. How much more can people with a dream change the world – a Gandhi, or a King, or a Kennedy, or a Nelson Mandela? Folks, if you’re listening out there, you do have power. You do have the capacity to change the world. You may think that down the road, no-one’s gonna care, no-one’s gonna know…but you know what? You have an impact. You gotta follow that. And the source of all great ideas is love, and compassion, and gentleness of spirit, and being kind to each other. From that proceeds everything else.” – J. Michael Straczynski, commentary on “The Deconstruction of Falling Stars”
